About This Home

As of December 2014

Three states are seen from this panoramic property with the only all season view on Lookout Trace. Formally a Branigar Ridge Topper model home, the property was completely remodeled in 2002 to more than 3,200 sq. ft. of upscale living space. This exceptionally maintained home has recently been painted throughout in neutral colors. The main floor features a living, dining & kitchen with breakfast bar in a great room layout that flows for entertaining and family gatherings. The vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace add to the specious feeling while massive windows allow a flood of natural light. The four season porch and large, low maintenance Trex deck complete the indoor-outdoor entertaining areas. The first floor master suite with access to the deck features vaulted ceilings in both bedroom and bath. The master bath has double sinks, whirlpool bath and walk-in shower with custom glass door. The lower level has 9-ft ceilings; a large guest suite and family room with wet bar and full walk out. The over-sized 2 car garage has plenty of storage, whole home back-up generator and a second floor workshop. Upgrades include but not limited to: motorized full deck Sunbrella awning, motorized interior window shades, lower level in-floor radiant heat and three water heaters. The entire interior was painted in 2012 and the exterior stain was new 2011. This home is being sold unfurnished, however all furnishings are easily negotiated on a separate bill of sale.
